My two space savers are both clearly marked as your wheel is 50mph/80kph. Also I had a a Skoda Superb 4WD estate and it’s spare was a16 inch steel wheel, whereas it’s OEM alloys were 17 inch. The combination of the width and aspect ratio of the tyre was such that its rolling diameter was almost...

Seems a good outcome. If 5kg is all that stands between you and snaking you would be on very thin ice given your loading approach.

Did you sort it ?

I cannot see the formal link between your first paragraph and second paragraph. Do you have a specific reference please.

My son and his partner bought new Nockias when they were reintroduced a few years back. They had much better battery life than their iPhones and were used specifically for holidays in obscure places.

That’s an option if you have solar, or use EHU. General consensus is an 80 amp hr will power the mover and provide the caravan services when required. One member even uses a motorbike battery. Having had to remove a caravan four times from muddy or wet newly mown CLs the mover did the trick...

Following a severe tragic accident in September 2017 on the M5 northbound near Bristol caused by a very old tyre on a motor horse box, tyre age rules were introduced. 10 years from date of manufacture for certain categories of vehicle, but not caravans or cars. I actually passed the scene...

Yes I went down to one Calorlite 6kg cylinder, Wheras for years I had carried two standard ones. But surprisingly I soon adjusted and never ran out of gas. I just used to ‘juggle” the cylinders between caravan and bbq.

We used ours during winter and the overwintering seemed to attract road muck, but I didn’t wash it, so by Spring it could look pretty grubby. But as you say Fenwicks cleaner would bring it up looking good again.

Crikey that’s a bit extreme. Every Friday or Saturday my wife restocks a pretty empty fridge, and takes her car. Until she returns I’m on soup and a round of sourdough. 😂😂😂

Education boards in England and Wales cover finance etc in Maths and Numeracy. It’s also covered to a greater extent in the Business subject GCSE option. Here’s a bite size revision guide by the BBC. https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/subjects/zc8tfrd...

Looks fantastic but I don’t think I’ve seen one so bad. Mine would go October to end of March unwashed but I did use Fenwicks Overwintering fluid. What causes yours to degrade that badly?

Prof On my last caravan I had to get down from 115 kg to the cars 75kg max nose load on the towbar. I put the spare wheel from the front locker into the door portal but of course that was still in front of the axle. The awning was in the car and locating stuff on or close to the rear of the...

Now you are used to towing the caravan you will have gained a feel for how your outfit behaves. There are so many other things that affect stability that if you’ve got those right giving some extra kilos at the rear will allow you to judge its effect. I doubt you will notice any difference...

Thanks but I was aware of the phrase. I just thought drifting to Doc Martens would lighten things up a bit.
